Chapter 299: Visiting the Immortal’s Home
“Oh? Demonic aura?”
Li Muyang was slightly surprised to sense the demonic aura coming from the cave.
In the northern regions, evil beings were the most numerous.
However, mountain spirits and wild monsters were much less common.
Not only were there no cultivators in this land, but even the spirits and monsters in the mountains seemed to have vanished.
Sensing the faint demonic aura in the cave, Li Muyang opened the system’s incense offering interface, looking for related red entries.
He quickly found the relevant information.
A weasel demon hiding in the mountains often descended to the villages to prey on children.
Li Muyang walked directly into the dark cave while checking his character’s experience bar.
Moon-Biting Dragon LV6 (98%).
The light purple experience bar was almost full, just a small section away from completion.
Based on Li Muyang’s experience, devouring the weasel would likely level him up to LV7.
At LV6, the Moon-Biting Dragon unlocked the ability to transform into a human.
So what new ability would be unlocked at LV7?
Li Muyang followed the dim demonic aura and stepped into the cave.
However, the monster inside the cave was extremely alert.
The moment Li Muyang entered, the creature inside the cave started moving rapidly.
Li Muyang quickly gave chase, surprised in his heart.
“This monster is indeed smarter than the evil demons...”
Most evil demons were cruel and bloodthirsty, but they lacked a strong survival instinct.
Even if Li Muyang came to kill them, they would still engage in a fight or two, only to flee when they realized they were outmatched.
Compared to the evil demons, the weasel in the cave was much smarter.
Unfortunately for it, though it was clever, its aura had already been locked onto by Li Muyang.
Li Muyang ran swiftly through the darkness, following the monster’s aura through the dark cave.
The belly of the mountain had been hollowed out by the monster, creating a labyrinth of narrow, winding paths that would take a long time for ordinary people to navigate.
But such tricks couldn’t deceive Li Muyang.
Following the direction of the aura, Li Muyang tracked closer and closer to the monster.
Finally, in the pitch-black belly of the mountain, he found a giant weasel nearly two zhang long.
Upon seeing Li Muyang, the weasel’s fur stood on end, utterly terrified.
“Dragon Goddess!”
The monster let out a shrill cry, evidently a creature with some cultivation that had refined its throat bone.
Li Muyang emerged from the darkness, and upon seeing the two orbs of red heavenly fire floating beside him, the weasel did not hesitate and immediately knelt down.
It kowtowed frantically.
“Please, Dragon Goddess, have mercy! This little demon was framed by others! Don’t kill me!”
The weasel wailed and kowtowed desperately.
Seeing this scene, Li Muyang paused, not immediately slaying the creature.
He curiously observed the giant weasel and asked, “You say you were framed by others? Who framed you? And why did they frame you?”
The weasel continued to kowtow and cry, “To inform the Dragon Goddess, this little demon was originally cultivating peacefully in Tutou Mountain beyond the frontier, never descending to harm the lives of mortals.”
“At most... at most I would deceive mortals to offer me some chickens, ducks, and fish.”
“But not long ago, two wandering immortals came to Tutou Mountain. They said a Dragon Goddess had appeared in the central lands, disrupting the rules of the North, but they couldn’t find your whereabouts. So they captured me and forced me to harm people in this area in order to lure you here.”
“Once you came, they would immediately come to kill you.”
“This little demon was completely coerced and has never harmed a human life!”
The giant weasel was desperately kowtowing, “The children who were abducted from the village at the foot of the mountain, none of the little demons dared to eat them. They are all locked up in the depths of this burrow, well-fed and well-cared for.”
“Dragon Goddess, please take those children and leave quickly. As soon as you enter this cave, those two wandering immortals will come to kill you!”
The weasel wailed continuously, begging for mercy.
Li Muyang, upon hearing this, had a slight chill in his eyes.

“Immortals from beyond the border... want to kill me?”
He had vaguely heard from mortals that beyond the border, there exists a mysterious presence known as wandering immortals.
If one encounters powerful demons or evil spirits in the northern lands, one can request the wandering immortals from beyond the border to come and exorcise them, but the price is extremely cruel.
Unless driven to desperation, the mortals of this land are unwilling to seek the help of these wandering immortals.
But he had not expected that these so-called wandering immortals would come over the border to kill him...
Was it because his actions of hunting evil spirits in the northern counties had angered these folks?
Li Muyang took another look at the weasel in front of him.
Although it was a demon with a strong demonic aura, it lacked the aura of bloodthirstiness, indicating it rarely, if ever, killed people.
Li Muyang said, “Where are those children you mentioned? Take me to them quickly.”
The weasel hurriedly led the way, running through the dark cave.
Li Muyang followed behind it and soon arrived at a dark, warm cavern.
In the cavern, covered with dry grass, lay seven little children, side by side.
They were all unharmed and sleeping soundly.
Seeing this, Li Muyang let out a sigh of relief.
This weasel actually hadn’t harmed anyone... quite a clever creature.
Looking at the humble and frightened demon before him, Li Muyang felt a bit more favorable towards it.
“As you said, from the moment I stepped into the cave, those two wandering immortals have been on their way to kill me?”
The weasel nodded desperately, “Yes, yes, yes! Dragon Goddess, you should hurry and take these children away!”
“If those two immortals catch you in the mountains, you’ll surely die!”
Mentioning the two immortals, fear filled the weasel’s eyes.
Li Muyang glanced at it and said, “You will come with me.”
After speaking, Li Muyang spat out a stream of water.
The surging water, as if conscious, gently wrapped around the seven sleeping children and headed out of the cave.
Witnessing this miraculous scene, the weasel was on the verge of tears.
“Dragon... Dragon Goddess, if those two immortals come back and see I’m not here, I’m dead for sure...”
Li Muyang, however, had no interest in wasting words.
He grabbed the demon’s tail and dragged it out of the cave.
But the moment Li Muyang dragged the weasel out of the cave, the cold moonlight fell upon the mountains.
In the wilderness outside the cave, two thin shadows stood silently.
One tall, one short, they stood under the moonlight, yet seemed almost nonexistent, nearly imperceptible.
But the moment Li Muyang saw these two shadows, he felt a chill in his heart.
Wandering immortals...
He immediately understood the identity of these two evil beings.
The scent that drifted through the air was foul, rotten, and pungent.
They were the most evil beings Li Muyang had encountered so far.
Even more malevolent and ferocious than the evil spirits that ravaged the northern lands.
In the cold night wind, the two thin shadows let out a low chuckle.
“The Dragon Goddess of Yushui River... is that right?”
